Report on Social Cooperatives: Status, Support, and Public Procurement 2022-2024

This document is a government analysis of the functioning of social cooperatives in Poland between 2022 and 2024. It notes a decrease in their number to 1,354, but also an increase in female employment and the growing use of the social enterprise status. It details the available financial support they used and their participation in public procurement and social programs.
Key points
The number of active social cooperatives fell from 1,503 at the end of 2021 to 1,354 at the end of 2024, mainly due to post-pandemic difficulties and inflation.
Women accounted for 72.5% of all workers in social cooperatives in 2024, and their share is steadily increasing.
Social cooperatives are increasingly obtaining the status of a social enterprise (PS), which gives them access to new tax breaks and preferences, e.g., in public procurement.
In 2022-2024, social cooperatives received a total of over PLN 100 million from various public programs for job creation and reintegration.
The value of public contracts awarded to social cooperatives using social clauses increased from PLN 21.8 million in 2022 to PLN 33 million in 2024.
